Readit News*after forking and modifying it for my use case
I wonder what the optimal form factor is. Like what if your AI could /suggest/ connecting with some service? Like your AI is browsing a site and can discover the "official" MCP server (like via llms.txt). It then shows a prompt to the user - "can I access your data via X provider?". you click "yes", then it does the OAuth redirect and can immediately access the necessary tools. Also being able to give specific permissions via the OAuth flow would be really nice.
LLMs seem pretty good at figuring out these things when given a good feedback loop, and if the DSL truly makes complex programs easier to express, then LLMs could benefit from it too. Fewer lines of code can mean less context to write the program and understand it. But it has to be a good DSL and I wouldn't be surprised if many are just not worth it.
Like, oil is insanely caloric and can accidentally add hundreds of calories, but it's nearly impossible to eat too many greens.
Once you learn this, then the tracking is just to keep you honest - your brain knows what to do but it lies to you when it wants to bend the rules and those little cheats add up enough to throw off the whole diet.
The point is exactly that these diametrically opposed ideologies do not actually exist, but that ideologues often paint their opponents that way.
A typical example is seen among the more extreme pro-choice activists. They frequently make claims like "It's not about protecting babies, they [pro-life people] just want to control women's bodies".
I spent a bunch of time in my 20s and early 30s trying out different organizational systems but I realized I just don't care. I care about doing interesting things, not organizing them.
Also computers are pretty good at full-text searching for things, or tagging so you don't have to come up with a perfect hierarchy. And I think LLMs will make it even easier to find stuff using fuzzy language.
Life's too short to spend it organizing.
Like the difference between couchsurfing in a friend's house (homeless but not unhoused) and sleeping in a car or on the street (both homeless and unhoused).
Wow, the idea of what's "new" in software has always been really short, but damn, it's becoming questionable whether anything can be considered new these days.
but also I think the interesting thing is that people didn't jump on MCP immediately after it launched - it seemed to go almost unnoticed until February. Very unusual for AI tech - I guess it took time for servers to get built, clients to support the protocol, and for the protocol itself to go through a few revisions before people really understood the value.
